When I wrote Secret Promises in 2015, I never planned to expand upon the story. Far as I was concerned, it was one and done. A stand-alone story that ended after Jameson and Jillian got together. But being new to the author world, I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t anticipate the outpouring of love and demands for more.
When Chasing Casey came to fruition, again, I assumed I was done with the series. All the Morellos had their happy endings – there was nothing left say.
Except, there was.
No Regrets is truly a labor of love. A niggling earworm that hammered into my heart with all its glam rock glory. Gabby and Anthony may not have been physically present in the initial duet, but they’re spirits are there. They sat in the back of my mind, dictating every move AJ and Jillian made through the course of their fictional lives. It all started with them. Two crazy in love kids who just wanted to be together. The start of Morello and Son’s, and the story that takes my career full circle. Start to finish.
To some, Morello & Son’s Restoration may be just a silly little shop from small-town New Jersey, but to me, it’s so much more than that. ALL my projects come back to this. So I wanted to take this moment to say thank you to everyone. The last 4 years have meant more to me than any of you will ever know.
